Chapter 529: Each Has His Own Plan

Ma Ming led two dark cloud warships. After entering the Crocodile Jiao Island protected by the Wuji Locking Yuan Formation, he did not immediately drive the boats directly to the original site of the human cultivators' garrison camp for investigation. Instead, he ordered the two warships to stop above a remote place on the Crocodile Jiao Island and turn on all the cover and protection.

After a brief exchange, Ma Ming, Xiao Hai, Master Shi Yan, Gui Xiuluo and Xuanyuan Jiyu decided not to start the dark cloud warships for the time being. Instead, the five of them acted alone first to survey the entire Crocodile Jiao Island and then discuss the next plan.

"Brother Wu, the five of us old guys plan to first explore the situation on the island, find the disciples of various sects scattered on the island, and learn from them about what happened on the island some time ago, and then make corresponding decisions. Do you have any objections?" Ma Ming said to Wu Yan with a smile.

Wu Yan nodded and said, "Of course, I have no objection. City Lord Ma, elders, please do as you please. By the way, I have been on the island for a while and am very familiar with the situation on the island. I wonder if the five elders need me to be a guide?"

"Thank you for your understanding, brother Wu. Haha, I won't bother you with such a small matter." Ma Ming said.

Wu Yan smiled, took out a message talisman, handed it to Ma Ming, and said, "Okay, City Lord Ma, if there is anything, just send this message talisman to contact me. Everyone, please!"

Ma Ming took the message talisman handed by Wu Yan, watched him turn around and leave, until his figure disappeared, then he looked at the other four people with an uncertain face, and communicated with the four people with his mind.

After a while, the five people had made a decision, with different expressions, and began to arrange the division of labor for the exploration. Ma Ming was in charge of the Water and Fire Valley Spiritual Land, Xiao Hai and Master Shi Yan were in charge of the Earth Flame Peak, Gui Xiuluo and Xuanyuan Jiyu were in charge of the True Water Peak, and five beams of light flew up from the dark cloud warship and went their separate ways. After a few breaths, they all disappeared.

After Wu Yan returned to the Yougu Headquarters of the Water and Fire Valley Spiritual Land, he passed through several special forbidden protective arrays and finally entered the largest underground stone chamber in the Yougu. This stone chamber was protected by special forbidden arrays on all four sides, and the outsiders could not see the existence of this place at all.

This stone chamber was the temporary control room of the Announcement Team. In the center of this stone chamber, there was a jade platform, and a spherical object with a diameter of about ten feet was suspended a few feet above the platform.

This sphere was flashing with soft white light, and many strange fragmented flow charts were displayed on it at this time. If you look closely, you can find that those fragmentary flow charts actually cover the monitoring charts of all locations within a radius of 3,000 miles on the entire Crocodile Jiao Island.

This ball is the Lingjian Ball of the entire Wuji Locking Yuan Formation. Wu Yan and Xuan Yazi use this Lingjian Ball to conduct the most stringent monitoring and control of all the actions of all the cultivators, monsters and sea creatures on the island. All the big and small things that happen in every corner of the entire Crocodile Jiao Island cannot escape the monitoring of this Lingjian Ball.

Xuan Yazi is sitting cross-legged on a cushion below the high platform where the Lingjian Ball is located, staring at the flow chart on the Lingjian Ball without blinking.

"Master, the five of them left the Dark Cloud Battleship after discussing for a while just now and went to explore separately. Now they are divided into three groups to explore the entire Crocodile Jiao Island. One is active in the Water and Fire Valley, two are on the Earth Flame Peak, and two are on the True Water Peak. I followed your instructions and covered all the array centers with the special power of the large array. Even the Yuanying Great Monk can't spy on the array center. Our headquarters in the valley is also covered by the special power of the large array. The power of the forbidden array in other places is temporarily hidden. Now, not only can these people freely patrol the places on the Crocodile Jiao Island that I deliberately let go, but also those sea tribes and monster tribes, as well as the remaining monks of the Sea Hunting Alliance and the four major sects, can also move freely in these areas." Xuan Yazi did not stand up, and even did not turn his eyes, but just stared at the Spirit Observation Ball without blinking, but reported the results of his observation to Wu Yan in a very careful manner.

Wu Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "Let them explore as they please. It would be best if they could run into the sea clan. It would be even better if they could fight with the demon commander of the sea demon clan. By the way, the two dark cloud warships must be taken care of, and they must not be discovered by the sea clan and the demon clan. In any case, we must get at least one of the two dark cloud warships. Our patrol team cannot do without such warships."

This kind of offensive and defensive warship was specially selected by the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance to jointly refine the most outstanding weapon refining masters and formation masters in order to fight against the sea clan and sea beasts in the sea hunting war. Ordinary forces or families are not qualified to own such warships. Even if they want to buy them, there is nowhere to buy them.

This is a contraband for the human cultivators in the Xumi Sea Cultivation World. In the management of the use of such warships, the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance have always been extremely strict. If you want to obtain this kind of warship, you must get the consent of the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance before they can be uniformly equipped.

Of course, some powerful monks can also spend huge sums of money to hire someone to build this kind of flying warship in private, but these privately built and refined flying warships are naturally incomparable with the Sea Hunting Divine Ship and the Dark Cloud Warship jointly refined by the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance.

Xuan Yazi also smiled and nodded, his eyes still carefully observing the spirit ball, and from time to time he would pinch his fingers to play some strange array control spells, adjusting the size and clarity of the map displayed on the spirit ball, without saying anything more.

Although the terrain on the island is complex, the area is not large. For a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, if he uses his divine sense to explore, he can spy on everything within a radius of 3,000 miles of the entire island in a few moments. However, now no one dares to use divine sense to spy on the entire Crocodile Jiao Island at will, and even if they do, they are afraid that even with the powerful protective array of the Wuji Locking Yuan Array, they can't detect anything at all.

Even if they disguised themselves and used their spiritual eyes to spy in various places, the five elders of the investigation team, which was divided into three groups, did not take long to carefully patrol the entire Crocodile Jiao Island and find the human cultivators scattered all over the Crocodile Jiao Island.

Wu Yan sat cross-legged not far from Xuan Yazi, his eyes also fixed on everything displayed on the Spirit Mirror Ball.

Three days later, all the human cultivators scattered on the Crocodile Jiao Island had been found by Ma Ming and the other five people, and were brought together to a temporary settlement they had arranged in the Water and Fire Valley Spirit Land. After counting carefully, Wu Yan found that this group of cultivators, after gathering together, was actually quite powerful. There were nearly fifty Jindan-stage cultivators alone, and the remaining more than 200 were all cultivators in the middle and late stages of the foundation-building stage. There was not a single Yuanying-stage cultivator.

It seemed that after the turmoil occurred, these Yuanying cultivators were very cunning and all ran away at the first opportunity. On the contrary, these Jindan-stage and foundation-building cultivators had a strong spirit of adventure and understood the principle of coexistence of opportunities and risks. After the turmoil occurred, they chose to stay on the island. Those Yuanying cultivators would naturally not risk staying on the island to fight against the sea clan for the island's resources.

The ability to judge the strength of all the cultivators, monsters and sea creatures on the island so clearly is also related to the special picture display of the Spirit Mirror Ball. In the picture of the Spirit Mirror Ball, according to the fluctuations of the spiritual power emitted by the cultivators or other creatures, the picture will show light spots of different sizes and colors.

The light spots displayed by the human cultivators are white, and the higher the cultivation level, the larger the white light spots will be. The demon cultivators and monsters of the demon race show two different light spots of khaki and grass green, and the size is also related to the level. The sea creatures show two different colors of light spots, light blue and black, and their sizes are the same.

From the Spirit Mirror Ball, the place chosen by Ma Ming and his team is only a hundred miles away from the valley, and they have also set up some extremely concealed magic arrays.

But unfortunately, any magic array cannot play any real role of shielding or protection under the coverage of this Wuji Locking Yuan Array. Otherwise, it would not show the power of this Wuji Locking Yuan Array and the specialness of this Spirit Mirror Ball.

Everything in the place where Ma Ming and his team stayed was clearly presented in the Spirit Mirror Ball.

Judging from the performance of Ma Ming and the other five people in the past three days, although the eight formation eyes on the periphery were extremely hidden under the cover of the large formation, they still discovered the existence of these eight formation eyes. This is no wonder. After all, the eight formation eyes were all arranged with blood-sucking demon vines, and a small team of disciples were arranged to guard them. Six of the formation eyes were even arranged with the Four-Elephant Gathering Spirit Array. As long as a cultivator with a little knowledge can judge what these covered places are used for based on the location, even if he can't peek into the formation eyes.

However, although Ma Ming and his team have discovered the location of these eight formation eyes, they did not make any unusual moves. Wu Yan secretly guessed that it was not that they did not want to make any moves, but that they were afraid of having a bigger plan and dared not make any moves for the time being, fearing that they would alert the snakes and disturb him, the current controller of Crocodile Jiao Island. They seemed to be waiting for the best time.

On the fourth day, Ma Ming and the other five stayed in the temporary settlement for most of the day, seemingly planning something.

In fact, Ma Ming and the others were indeed plotting how to drive Wu Yan and the others out of the Crocodile Island and regain control of the Crocodile Island.

Although they had previously experienced the protective power of this formation, they did not believe that the formation arranged by Wu Yan could really see everything about them clearly. Moreover, when they were communicating, in order to prevent being eavesdropped, they were always communicating with divine thoughts.

This spiritual ball was the original creation of the Xuan family. The entire Xumi Sea cultivation world did not know that Xuan Yazi had such a strange and special array control treasure in his hands. It is conceivable that these people did not guard against this.

Although Wu Yan could spy on everything at the settlement of Ma Ming and the others through the spiritual ball, he could not find out what they were plotting. He did not know the content of Ma Ming and the others' plot, so he had no way of knowing what these people would do next.

In fact, at the temporary residence of Ma Ming and others, Ma Ming and the other five were having a heated debate with their spiritual thoughts about the ownership of the control of Crocodile Island.
